will have a focus with the our social studies unit. We will continue our
amazing the unit about Community Helpers.
We are going to be discussing the different types of professions. Children will get the chance to name the tools,
transportations and what does each of the professions do. Some of the
vocabulary words we will be focusing are: hair
stylist, firefighter, policeman, doctor, vet, nurse, builder, chef, farmer, teacher,
mailman, dentist. If you have any
books or posters, or any other material that you would like to share with us it
would be greatly appreciated. Children
can bring any of these transportation and community helper’s objects they have
at home to share and play we will send them two weeks.

The following link you will find a PowerPoint presentation with the
vocabulary, in case you would like to review at home with your child.

We will be having expositions from a vet, a dentist, firefighter, police
and doctor (the last 3 are coming with their corresponding transportation.) SO EXCITING!!!!

Some of the stories we will be reading this week are:

The Napping House by Audrey
Woods Included in the napping house menagerie is a dozing dog, a snoozing cat,
a slumbering mouse, and a wakeful flea who ends up toppling the whole sleep
heap with one chomp! Don Wood’s delightfully detailed comical illustrations are
bathed in moonlight blues until the sun comes up, then all is color and
rainbows and a very awake household.

Noisy Nora by Rosemary
Wells It's tough being the middle mouse. No one's paying any attention to
Nora, so she decides to do something her family can't ignore: make noise. Nora
slams windows, bangs doors, and upsets furniture, to no avail. It's not until
she crashes out the door--and the house goes strangely silent--that her family
realizes: a noisy Nora is much better than no Nora at all. "A wonderful
story."

In math, will continue working with numbers. We will review numbers 0-10 on how to represent
and recognize numbers using tally marks, ten frames, number formation, name of
the number, one-to-one correspondence, and sequencing.
